Pinoy Celebrities Who Filed Their COCs For The 2019 Elections

In the Philippines, we have a very peculiar system of picking out who our leaders will be. While in other countries, the world of politics and show business are totally separate institutions, here in the Philippines, we tend to blur the lines between them.

This is why it is no longer surprising to see celebrities running for office, and actually winning pretty high posts whether it be in local elections or on the national level. In the light of the recent filing of Certificates of Candidacy, we see, yet again, how many celebrities have filed for candidacy for the upcoming 2019 elections.

Here are a list of the celebrities who are trying their hand at politics:
